Jacob in his beesuit seated alone, on a chair opposite a screen in what might be the Frischbuilding (but actually in Lawrence, Kansas). "Programmer's log, seat date 4.15.xx..." and then he types over and over "thisisthatandthatisthis". Bored and nervous, not insane.
I spent a lot of time in front of a screen, at Frisch Flight Simulation, right on the side of the mountain above town.
